--- Kress ---
Kress was keeping pace with Nell quite well when the beastkin shouted out, "Why are you so intent on riding my ass, won't your boyfriend get jealous?" Nell realised what she'd done as the words left her mouth. She turned a horrified stare back at Kress, wondering what possessed her.
Kress shared a similar fate, looking at Nell like she'd suddenly grown a second head. Despite the distraction they managed to continue the slalom without any issues, but the silence was growing, even with the sounds of the jet-skis to help mask it. Finally, Kress gave the only answer he could. "Marigold? How did you sneak into this race and why are you wearing fake ears?"
